Lover's Crime

Way up north, my love lies sleepin'

Her lonely grave, beneath the pines

How sadly I recall her memory

She was my own true love divine



One night I found her with another

They did not know, I was around

In a blinding rage, I drew my pistol

I killed them both and fled that town



For many days, I wandered over

Across the sea and desert sands

My heart was filled with grief and sadness

I could not cleanse these, my blooded hands



For many years, I've been a prisoner

My grayin' hair, marks off the time

I'm going back to my old north lands

To wash away my sin and pride

To wash away my sin and pride
